Trends & Indicators
📈📉🧐

We used long-term monitoring data and/or citizen science data to determine population trajectories of concerning species and to build topic indicators. Those trends and indicators indicate health of a given ecosystem at local or regional scale.

​

  • Breeding birds (Lin et al. 2023 Ecological Indicators☺️)

  • Migratory waterbirds (Lin et al. 2023 Global Ecology and Conservation☺️)

  • Birds of YMS National Park (manuscript preparation💦)

  • Population trajectories of Taiwan Macaque (manuscript preparation💦)

  • Birds of different parts of Taiwan (analyzing data🤔)

  • Birds of alpine region of Taiwan (analyzing data🤔)

  • Agricultural LTER (birds, frogs & reptiles; manuscript preparation💦)

  • Frogs of Taiwan (Please give me fund🥹)

  • Indicators for forest vegetation types of Taiwan (Please give me fund🥹)

Wildlife-Habitat Relationships
🌳🐦‍⬛🪺

We are trying to identify survival and breeding resources of a species in a heterogeneous landscape, and determine the associations of wildlife diversity and landscape (composition, configuration & habitat amount).  The issues include fragmentation, mosaic farmlands and forests, and landscape planning. 
​

Citizen science & Open data 🙌

Citizen science is the essential tool for current biodiversity conservation. We launch several citizen science project for Taiwan's biodiversity and share all data with the world on the GBIF.

​

Conservation with international cooperation 🌏

We cooperate with people from different parts of the world for biodiversity conservation, especially for migratory species along the East Asian - Australasian Flyway. We are the coordinator of Asian Waterbird Census of the Wetland International, and the East Asia Wildlife Health Network. We also provide scientific-based evidences and suggestions to policy makers for designs strategies and actions.

​

Case studies for individual bird species & others 🦉

Sometimes, sudden events urge us to search and collect evidences from various source types and multilingual materials (usually Chinese, English & Japanese), especially tracking to the documents in 19th century. Further, I conducted studies concerning biogeographical issues & cooperative breeding behaviorur many years ago.
